Hacker Suspect Bragged of Exploits

Jason Lee Parson, the 18-year-old Minnesotan who was arrested Friday in connection with the Blaster worm, bragged of his exploits on his own Web site.
Parson, who was known online as "teekid," is suspected of creating and releasing a third version of the Blaster worm, a malicious program that spread itself around the Internet using a viral engine bearing his online moniker, "teekids.exe."
The Web site registered under his own name and Minnesota address -- www.t33kid.com -- is no longer up. But a cached version of his site on Google offers insight into the mind of a young hacker who was apparently proud of his work.
While nothing on his site specifically references Blaster, Parson bragged about several of his recent creations, including a worm called "p2p.teekid.c" that spread over file-sharing networks like Kazaa and iMesh............

If you really desire something, you'll find a way ?

IT'S WHAT PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT THEMSELVES THAT MAKES THEM AFRAID.
But don't you think it would be too easy to hit that target?
Well, maybe at the beginners range, it would be a good target hehe.
I have sometimes wished for hackers to turn on eachoders - trying to create a virus that only hits hackers or messes up eachoders viruses or something.
Don't do anything that I've allready done - That'd be just plain STOOOOOOPID.
As soon as this little problem blows over some fortune 500 company will offer him a 6 figure job for his computer skills.
What better way to job hunt?
He looks exactly like the sort of kid who would do this. Unpopular, unliked, low self-esteem, and looking for some way to get even with the world that ignores him or make himself feel important. It is sad.
Why do you assume this, because he's fat? I'm fat and have lots of friends and don't have low self-esteem. Your comment sounds a little prejudicial. Why would an intelligent man judge someone from a picture? I'll buy he's dumb judging from his stupidity of having the worm point back to his own web-site, but I don't see where you draw the other conclusions.
Don't take this as an attack, I'm just curious, and serious.
I can believe some of the younger members making some of these statements, because that is how they were taught to relate in high school, and they're not far from it. But for grown men to resort to that type of a steriotype is odd to me.
Measure twice, cut once.
Empty the clip!
